As spotted by MySmartPrice, a Xiaomi phone has appeared on the MIIT website with the model number 25019PNF3C. It is speculated to be the Xiaomi 15 Ultra. The letter C in the model number likely indicates the Chinese variant of the phone. The 2501 suggests that Xiaomi could unveil the smartphone in January next year.
The screenshot of the listing shared by the publication shows that Xiaomi 15 Ultra will offer satellite connectivity. This feature is likely to be available in China and surrounding regions as the phone is certified for the Tiantong satellite used by China Telecom.

Xiaomi 15 Ultra Specifications (Expected)
Although the Xiaomi 15 Ultra launch is still not confirmed by the Chinese company, a recent 3C listing suggested that it will have 90W wired charging support. It is rumoured to boast a 2K quad-curved display and could run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite flagship chipset.
The Xiaomi 15 Ultra is tipped to feature a 200-megapixel large-aperture periscope telephoto sensor and a 1-inch type main camera with f/1.63 aperture. It could offer IP68 and IP69 ratings. It is said to offer wireless charging support, but the battery capacity could remain the same as the Xiaomi 14 Ultra.
Xiaomi 14 Ultra was introduced in February at the MWC in Barcelona. It landed in India in March this year with a price tag of Rs. 99,999 for the single 16GB RAM and 512GB variant.
